PMC: Suggestions regarding playlist and cmd line args

[sujith h]

Hi all,

Today while using the Plasma-mediacenter(pmc) built from master branch. I
came across an issue. The issue is, while executing pmc from command line:
$ plasma-mediacenter /home/sujith/Music/a.mp3
It didn't played a.mp3. Because I had 3 playlist in pmc( "a", "Default",
"test"). It got added to "Default" playlist. But pmc started playing the
first song of playlist "a". Now I have a problem here:

   - The "Default" playlist is getting cleared completely and then it adds
   the song from the command line to it.
   - Playing wrong song which is passed from command line.

Now the solution that came to my mind is:

   - Have a playlist to control the songs from command line. Now the
   problem here is then what to do with "Default" playlist( I mean should we
   handle with "Default" playlist or a new playlist is really required)?
   - Have the songs in the new playlist, lets say "Cmd line" as name of
      playlist. And add the songs to it. Is there a need to keep
      the playlist as such in pmc or to delete it. If I have to keep "Cmd
      line" then what about if I pass next range of song(s) from command line
      in the next relaunch? Do I need to overwrite the songs in "Cmd
      Line"?  Should we allow the user to save the songs played from
command line?

Couldn't find any proper solution for this. In case any one of you got a
better idea or user experience it would be nice to know, so that I can move
forward implementing them.

Thanks,

Sujith H
